Worldwide theatre gross = $219,851,172
Net losses = $105,148,828

Genre: Superhero film

Film failed because:
-Noisy, overproduced and thinly written
-Unstable, goofy and downright derivative

Still continuing to make a sequel or a trilogy.


Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

Total cost: $167,000,000
Worldwide theatre gross: $85,131,830
Net Losses: $81,868,170

Director is Hironobu Sakaguchi (Creator of Final Fantasy)
Alec Baldwin as Gray Edwards
Ving Rhames as Ryan
No notable stars in box office

Genre: Videogame Film (Fantasy)

Reason for failures:
It wasn’t what the fans wanted, they expected what you would expect in the game but there just wasn’t much to offer as a video game film.

Interesting fact: The film has a major influence of the successful Mass Effect series.
